A identificação na filiação por adoção: um estudo na clínica psicanalítica

Abstract

This paper was born from the concerns due to hearings in psychoanalytic clinics and consists on a study about the child’s identification with their parents in adoption affiliation. Aiming to understand it, a theoretical performance was set in place to investigate the identification and affiliation at Freudian work. Thus, it has reached Narcisus and Oedipus as important myths taken by Freudian psychoanalysis as establishers of “I”. They have revealed that the ego is constructed through the initial affection bind between the children and their parents, also reaching the relationships between alterity, culture and identification. The analysis of these relationships has led to the determination that culture castrates and imposes limitations to compulsion. Thus, that the human, just like Freud has presented us, is condemned to carry on by himself the anguish of self incompleteness and unknown. Hence, this dissertation has come to the psychoanalytical clinics directly from transference as its crucial aspect taking as a leading guide the concept of identification. Then, it was presented these very clinics as for analysis of children in a general standard and the children in line for adoption more specifically, using as a research method the study of clinical cases. In order to analyze the matter of identification in the construction of “I” of the child in the affiliation through adoption, it has been exposed fragments of the clinical service of a child in line to a couple who has not biologically generated it. These fragments were interpreted under the light of the theoretical assumptions described here. The final considerations of such a case study have indicated that if the identification by which the ego is constructed is absolutely singular by one hand, by the other there are peculiar aspects concerning the identification through adoption. Particularly the ones that refer to the genetics inheritance and the existence of other parents with which the child also identifies and needs to elaborate its affiliation.
